    I know it's not out in the wild scenic, but sometimes I think city shots look nice too.

    If you were on the Keeweenaw / in Houghton, did you go out to the abandoned rocket range (road in the link on your first post)?? Fun little 4wd excursion to about the prettiest campsite I've ever been to in my life...

    MeefZah--We did not go to the rocket range, but instead to the High Rock Bay campsite area. The "road" splits. Yes it is beautiful! Probably you know this place too--it's sort of informal, fire rings but no water or toilets. We didn't camp because the port-a-potty we ordered for delivery at Marquette Walmart did not show up! That road is amazing, hard to describe. Took us over an hour to go 7 1/2 miles. It had recently rained. About a mile and a half from the end we met a guy in a Silverado on his return, asked him how much farther? He said 10 minutes. (He was way off). "There will be BIG PUDDLES, but they all have hard bottoms." LOL he was right on that! They were huge, long, deep, we counted 22 of them. This is the first one, rather modest, after that we did not stop to take pictures. Our 2013 Limited took it all in stride.

    I have not been up to the Copper Harbor area since I was 16 or 18. I remember lake near town and catching brook trout so easily. It was like blue gill fishing with a bobber and night crawler. Definitely God's country

    All of them.
    We’ve been hunting these trains for almost two years now and finally got a tip from an Instagram follower. 6406DC33-0763-46D8-8D1A-D01F36556ADD.jpgEE53422D-49BA-4A0C-9A08-058C208551DD.jpg

    we will definitely be exploring more of the trails around this area in the coming weeks and hopefully find a few camping spots along the way.

    Went off-roading this past week in brown mountain OHV trail here in North Carolina…

    It was nothing challenging but it was nice (except for almost running over dirt bikes who fly down those trails). Be careful!!!

    Love exploring pisgah. I hate they closed the area around max patch. That little stream that flows down there has some pretty awesome camping spots

    How do you like the Hitchfire? Does it rattle when you’re on the highway?
